OK .. I'll be honest and say I'm not a fan of the locking nuts on Spheroid which seem to love to come loose with any movement on the coil/wick. Any suggestions? Hex nut replacement? Size?

SChris -
Battery maybe? I am hell bent on using .30 if I HAD to pick. Can you photo the coil?

Hows about a video. This seem ok?

We made screws for the lovers of the screwdriver, in a few days we shall have them as spare kit. Personally I love the finger nuts, but we have many requests for screws, mainly from Northern Europe. There is a difference in the throat hit, a bit more intense, depending on the wick's placement though.
They are in production now, the moment they are ready, I'll post photos, possibly next week.

The GP Spheroid will continue to be sold with thumb nuts, but we shall have them included as alternate method and they will be available as replacement set also.

I have to agree. The vape is one of the most consistent, convenient (once built), and overall solid vapes as far as a tank atomizer is concerned; very, very close to dripping atomizers in flavor, vapor, and throat hit but in a leak-free, pocket-friendly device. However the rebuild is also one of the most frustrating for me, mostly due to what you mentioned.

... aaand problem solved lol

Yes, they should be able to do it. Too much silver on the post. Work the threads back and forth a bit, don't afraid to break them, if something happens, no worries, I'll send you a new post ASAP.

All the springs get a little softer after one day of use.

Perseas,
Just wanted to update you on the center post--your suggestion worked Zero quibbles with the X now: she is perfect. Thanks again!

Sent from an itty bitty keyboard

Yep, as Ahreek stated: Problem Solved√

I personally like the Thumb Nuts though. Makes the Spheroid a tool-free endeavour... and they have never come loose on me yet however rough usage I might have put them thru (tossed them in the pocket, kept them in the car boot, went on a Roller-Coaster ride, dropped them once in a while, et all).

It is an awesome product of Team-GP, very consistent in performance... my only "go-to" atty, which are loaded atop my 14500s, Piccolos and others (sorry Perseas I seem to like my Ba Gua as well). And pls Perseas, pls produce an Alu-Bronze version soon... I'm dying to have a Piccolo-Lux!

CLASSIC PICCOLO LUX VERSION:

Bringing up once again to draw the attention of Sir Perseas

 

[perseas]

We are about one and a half month before the new GP Piccolo comes out and a LUX edition is in the works.

 

[digitals]

Ask and you shall receive, Q.

 

[jjkanto]

piccolo looks nice with the spheroid being the same size!

Piccolo is the only mod left on my wish list. My Spheroids await her arrival.

Interesting P. The nuts are also perfect for me, I love the fact that I can use one less tool for assembly.

Wow. This is incredible. Another month and a half of no sleep....I'm in!

I remember moons ago when I first talked about the Piccolo with you. You gave me such good advice and it has become one of my all time favorites. I carry one everywhere.

I might as well just sign over my paycheck to Perseas - got my first Paps 3 weeks ago, a Lux...then the 18500/18650 tubes along with a flat top cap...got a 2.1 coming in a trade...the new X on Oct 7 (fingers crossed!)....and now I hear of the new Piccolo!

Going broke here I am....but am very happy nonetheless.

same boat, but add both versions of the S&P tanks, a spheroid and piccolo. and my GP collection is *small* compared to some of the folks on this thread.

and like you, perfectly happy

not a day goes by with a GP product in my pocket. like a riff on the old pneumonic: "spectacles, testicles, wallet, and watch," or in my world, "sunglasses, phone, wallet, and GP."

cheers perseas, et.al.!

After trying out the Spheroid for a while, there's something about the taste that I don't like (sort of like an aftertaste), and since I have used the same liquid and even the same exact wick swapped directly from an Ithaka, I believe it may have something to do with the stock filler material, which for the record, I did boil and even tried leaving in vodka, but it made no difference. Has any body else encountered said problem, and if so, what's the solution?

PS - What's this about a new Lux edition that Perseas mentioned - is it an improved / similar version of the current one or something entirely different?

The Lux edition refers to the GP Piccolo.

Zero issues with aftertaste though. The only taste that I've encountered other than my juice is the silica. Tastes like "thread". That issue is a wick issue and has nothing to do with the Spheroid nor filler.
